Auburn Hills – Another chapter is complete for Lake Fenton’s Trent Hillger.
The heavyweight is bowing out as a three-time state champion. Hillger, who will attend Wisconsin next season, is a Mr. Wrestling finalist.
Hillger capped the final weekend of the wrestling season with three pins and a technical fall in just 3:15 over Luke Tromp of Lake Odessa Lakewood in the Division 3 285-pound finals at the Palace of Auburn Hills.
He finished the season 57-0 and has not lost a match since the state tournament his freshman year when he was wrestling at 171.
“I lost here as a freshman, but I still finished fourth,” recalled Hillger. “I learned from that.”
Hillger was Division 3 state champion at 215 back in 2015 and captured the Division 3 285-pound crown as a junior. He is 238-5 for his stellar career. Read full story HERE
